'First Look' coming next week

Last year, I thought the First Look series went over really well, so I'm bringing it back this year. In 2008, each First Look was released on a Monday, but I'm going to have to change that to Thursdays this summer, mostly due to my work schedule. First Look will also kick off a week later than 2008.

Here's the First Look schedule for 2009:

AKRON -- June 11
SYRACUSE -- June 18
TEMPLE -- June 25
IOWA* -- July 2
@Illinois* -- July 9
EASTERN ILLINOIS(I-AA) -- July 16
MINNESOTA*^ -- July 23
@Michigan* -- July 30
@Northwestern* -- August 6
OHIO STATE* -- August 13
INDIANA* -- August 20
@Michigan State* -- August 27

Any other comments or suggestions about this year's First Look series, send me an email. Also, look for more opposing team blogger participation. I was in contact with a few of them over the winter and spring, and there was enough interest to do it.

P.S. I know U.

I wasn't sure about this series last year, and I'm still not sure this year. It was long, tedious, and didn't really contribute enough bang for the buck. I might scrap it, but I might not. Again, any thoughts from readers are welcome.
